Sunshine Building Maintenance is commemorating 47 years of providing commercial cleaning services across the Denver area and has launched a newly designed website to offer businesses detailed information about its offerings, industries served, and company history. Founded in Lakewood, Colorado, in October 1979 by Steve Franklin, the family-owned company remains under second-generation leadership. Steve's sons, Eric and Kris Franklin, assumed leadership following their father's passing in 2018 and continue operating the business with an emphasis on workforce accountability, consistent service, and long-term client relationships.
The anniversary highlights nearly five decades of local operations and the company's continued focus on providing commercial cleaning company in Denver services through directly employed cleaning personnel rather than subcontracted labor. This direct-employment model is a defining feature of Sunshine's operations. The company uses W2 employees exclusively and does not use subcontractors or independent contractor cleaning crews. Every employee entering a client facility is hired directly by Sunshine and undergoes a background check. This structure allows the company to maintain direct responsibility for workforce training, supervision, and service delivery.
Eric Franklin serves as Executive Vice President and Principal, overseeing business operations, technology initiatives, workforce planning, and client relationships. Kris Franklin serves as President and Principal, managing day-to-day operations, account management, and operational coordination. Both grew up around the company, gaining experience in its daily operations before taking over leadership. The second-generation leadership has maintained the company's family ownership while continuing to serve commercial facilities across Denver and the Colorado Front Range.
Healthcare facilities represent the largest concentration of Sunshine Building Maintenance's client base and its deepest area of specialization. The company serves medical office buildings, outpatient clinics, dialysis centers, and multi-facility healthcare systems. Its healthcare cleaning programs incorporate infection control procedures, color-coded microfiber systems, documented cleaning scopes, and AORN terminal cleaning protocols in applicable patient-care areas. Sunshine has served healthcare organizations including CommonSpirit Health, AdventHealth, and Vitalant. These relationships reflect the company's experience working in environments where cleaning procedures, documentation, and consistency are important operational requirements. Beyond healthcare, the company serves corporate offices, commercial real estate, educational facilities, industrial operations, retail properties, and other commercial environments throughout the Denver metro and Front Range.
The newly launched website provides a central resource for businesses researching commercial cleaning services, reviewing industry-specific capabilities, and learning about the company's history and operating practices. It outlines service offerings such as healthcare facility cleaning, commercial janitorial services, office cleaning, day porter services, hard floor maintenance, carpet cleaning, and post-construction cleanup. The site also provides information about the company's workforce model, professional affiliations, service areas, and leadership team, helping facility managers understand how Sunshine structures cleaning programs around individual building requirements.
The company also uses digital job checklists and employee time tracking through Connecteam. Supervisors conduct inspection rounds, account managers perform scheduled walkthroughs, and management conducts additional facility inspections. Service issues are documented and tracked through the company's quality control process. For commercial property managers, this approach provides a consistent workforce and a direct line of accountability when questions about cleaning standards or facility access arise.
As the company reaches its 47th year, the website launch represents another step in communicating its services and longstanding presence in the Denver commercial cleaning market. Businesses interested in learning more about Sunshine's history, services, and coverage can visit the company's website.
